To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, NATHANIEL T. B. OAR- LIN, of Kirkwood, in the county of St. Louis and State of Missouri, have invented a certain 5 new and useful Improvement in Cartridge-- Holders, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, and in which- Figure lis aperspeotive view of a belt having a number of my improved holders attached. Fig. 2 is an enlarged detail perspective view of same. Fig. 3 is a section showing a manner of securing the holders to the belt or support. Fig. 4 is an enlarged front view. Fig. I 5 is a view of the blank.

My invention relates to those holders for cartridges which are formed of sheet metal to provide elastic. clasps to receive the shells lat- 20 erally.

My invention consists in features of novelty hereinafter fully described, and pointed out in the claim.

Referring to the drawings, A represents the shown, so as not to cut the cartridges.

The holder is adapted to receive all kinds and sizes of cartridges, and it will, of course, hold the shells as well as the charged cartridges. It is preferably made out of a single piece of suitable metal cut as shown in Fig. 5, and then the bottom piece, I, bent atright angles to the body A.

I claim as my invention A cartridge-holder, A, having outturned edges J, and its bottom piece, I, bent outward, as shown, at the lower end of the holder.
